I do not agree with this approach. Adding the sound keyword to a test that is intended to run on systems with and without audio is the wrong solution. It does not address the underlying problem. Instead, it hides the issue and reduces test coverage. The hang in the "com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDevice.nOpen" seems like a generic code path, so it will not help.
